Can Festival Food Be Healthy? 6 Game-Changing Snacks at Panorama That Add Up to Yes

Ah, festival food: The endless onslaught of overpriced beer and chili cheese fries that leaves you blissed out then, alas, inevitably bloated.

Yes, alongside head-turning indulgences from Dough and Eggloo, you’ll find plenty of equally mouth-watering options that may sit a little easier as you dance the day away. Here, six healthier snacks to nosh on this weekend—worth making the trek to Randall’s Island alone.
